Lost Memories, drawings, paintings, and mixed-media sculptures by James Schultz, will be the featured exhibit at the BAFFA Gallery in early October. The artist finds “his greatest inspiration in the endless variety of myths and legends throughout the course of human history.” The Blue Point artist and art teacher says he “often places heroes, gods, and monsters in environments far from their origins.”

The exhibit can be viewed on October 7,8,14, and 15 from 1 to 3 PM with an opening reception on October 6 from 7 to 9 PM. The BAFFA Gallery is located at 47 Gillette Avenue in Sayville.
